No, it's untrue and a myth. Most have college degrees. It's the fact that the level of intelligence are affecting the quality of men being produced into the world and with more women Turning to education to be their providers.
Men today no longer want to be providers and are highly sexually charged, but blame every woman who isn't having sex with him or is highly loose, promiscuous or even even goes as far to blame her being religious or a single mother. The truth is men have abandoned women in numbers, both for good logical reasons but often irrational reasons. So in truth, a few is dating outside the country to try to find men of similar values. The problem is there is a good amount of men who have no desire to change jobs, increase income or get an education. It's all about mentality. Because I just started going to college, never had a college degree and I got shamed for my intelligence and I never boast about it. Their very insecure. I try to encourage guys to do it they get posts. Excuse my French. So I don't blame a good amount of women for feeling like that. So many men say their not intimediated but I hear and see them mock such women all the time. A sign of a weak man. Because a strong men who doesn't have would improve himself for himself so he can attract equally quality women. Nobody should be held at fault for having a natural desire to move up the higher tier in their lives. Some people like myself are designed to do more. And these days you need a college education for that sadly. Otherwise, I believe the real issue is men can no longer have control over women anymore and their mad about it. And I don't mean the good kind of control.

"So dumb guys go for dumb girls and smart guys go for dumb girls. What do the smart girls get?" " Cats, mostly" - Phil Dunphy.
That has nothing to do with it. The problem is when they wait until they are 30 + before trying to find a good guy because most of the good guys have lost interest in them by then.
It is common because if they spend years getting a degree, then years after that trying to get well established in a career they are often close to 30 by then. And if they spent all that time getting a degree and a good job they either don't want to leave it at all to have kids, or if they do leave it then they have lots of debt for a degree they won't even be using.
I think many of them would be happier long term if they found a good mate when young, had kids and went to school online so they would be finished with school by the time their kids are school age. Then they would get to have a good mate, kids, and start a job they like when the kids are school age. Seems like the best option in my opinion.
I would say yes, but this is more society's fault than anything. Many women are taught that a man must be college educated to be successful, especially if she is. However, our society forgets that there is more than one path to success. Other than college, there is trade school, military, peace corps or even just old school starting from the bottom of an underappreciated job and moving up the ladder. Also, society measures a man's success by his wallet, which leads to women expecting the same. On the man's end, he feels insecure if he makes less than a woman because society has taught him he must be the breadwinner, which can lead to rifts in a relationship. It is not that college educated women CAN'T find a successful man as much as it is that these women often have a narrow minded view of what a good and successful man is.

A lot of the guys I know have this basic idea that a girl has to have some type of education or masters or PhD - I don't know if my degree affects my dating value but I think it might help me find a job - I have 3 fields I want to break into - when I finish my current job
It isn't about if a man had a degree or not but does he self educate himself if he doesn't have a degree or if keeps an open mind and learns new things about the world.
Only true for the college educated women who think they're too good or valuable for most men, yes. What they call having "high standards" but are superficial expectations rooted in self-importance.

What is true is that many college educated women have unrealistic standards for their companions.
Not all but i will tell you a story. Many educated women think they are amazing , proud of themselves verging on narcissism ( not all). I befriended a chinese girl. (Victim of tiger parenting) Very educated smart woman. I really enjoyed her companionship as she was , talented, into traveling, music, dancing.
But deep down she was very abusive controlling woman. Quite jealous of other people success. She was crying one day and told me she want to leave her job because one of her colleagues is being promoted because they are working harder than her And she wasn't!!!
Education gave some good women chance for making their lives better, but for certain type of women it made their dating life more difficult because they are already difficult people. and now they dont have any excuse to be selfless as they have money, prestige, and opportunityIm a college educated woman earning a doctoral degree and I find my case to be rare. All my colleagues have relationships or are either meeting someone. What isnāt helping me?
-Iām a bit conventional and wonāt do an account in the web to find love. I respect people who do it, yet I just canāt.
-I donāt look my āsexual ageā. Comparison is the thief of joy, yet Iām honest and my facial features are baby faced and my phrase is very slim. A lot of people think Iām 20years old.
-Iām a happy single person, and have learned that love in the romantic sense comes at different life stages and maybe mine wonāt be in my 20ās.Lol it's not the men. It's the women. Educated women want a man more educated. If she has a bachelor's she wants him to have a doctorate. Not just any doctorate but one in a more lucrative field then hers. There are more women college graduates then men so all these women are looking for 1% of the men that graduated who have lucrative careers. Thing is there are not enough for them. These guys aren't stupid the see the gold digging ways so unless she's equally financially or she puts a sparkler in her ass while giving blow jobs.
I'm in NYC. It's so funny to watch.Depends on what you mean by "good men". A woman's standards change as her own status changes. She's always looking for a man who's superior to her. Strong women don't date weak men. Rich women don't date poor men. Fit women don't date fat men. Educated women don't date men with only a diploma.
That's just reality. As a woman, if you want a good-looking, successful man, you just have to be pretty. As a man, if you want a good-looking, successful woman, you better be damn-near perfect in every way.Some college educated women talk a lot about the struggle of finding good men, but that's because their standards in 'good men' are MUCH higher than non-college educated women. Furthermore, some women seem to think men will value the things they look for in a man, and find it frustrating they have trouble finding men who have the qualities that match their own. Partly this is underlines by the fact more women go to college then men.
But this is mainly about standards and perception, because college educated women end up marrying at a higher rate than non college educated women, and divorce less frequently.I met my guy in college but I agree with what someone else said - we tend to stick in the same circles of people with the same level of education. Most of my friends are college educated. Having those kinds of circles makes dating easier. If youāre a woman looking for a guy thatās in the same educational bracket outside your social groups, it may be difficult. Having a college degree is way more common these days so I donāt think it makes you that much of an outlier.

If you want apples, you plant apple seed. Do not expect a banana seed to give an apple tree... Never going to happen tho.
That's not true at all. In fact, predominately college educated men tend to marry other college educated women. Many folks meet their spouses in college. If you're college educated, 95% of your social circle will be college educated. If you're rich, most of your social circle will be rich. If you're a broke crackhead, most of your friends would also be broke. This is how things work.
I am not sure if it is true even with the articles out there, but 60% women to 40% men graduating will certainly leave some without chairs when the music stops if they will only date educated men. It appears that by sheer number of graduate imbalance some will have to date blue collar or share. I am an Ivy League post grad and I am living with a hs grad. So, if they do the same, they will find men, hypergamy notwithstanding.
Most women these days are only going to college to feel "empowered". Thousands of dollars into debt for that. If your going to school for something like medicine, then okay, worth it. If women put too much emphasis on it then thats their fault. You do not need college to make a good living or be a good conversationalist. I also feel that many women need to get over it if their guy makes less many than them. Like, get over it. We dont care and you shouldn't either. Its 2020 ladies. there's plenty of quality guys out here. I just feel that many modern day women need to change their ideas of what makes "desirable" man so to speak.
Oh right so you get to d code because you've read the Bible, and therefore then I get to beat you, because the Bible allows for that, I also get to kill you with stones for wearing clothing of mixed fabric, the Bible is no more a set of doctrines that ultimately boil down to this,
Don't be a dick to others and take some damned responsibly for your own life and choices.
Get a fucking grip and stop with the preaching, if I wanted that I'd go to a church.Lots of recent studies came out saying that the typical gender roles work the best and leave both parties the happiest. Some even say that people eventually default to them even though they say they want more egalitarian partnerships.
Many men want to be and will happily take the role of the breadwinner. If the female partner in question makes more money than the male, then he will wonder why he is even there and would feel like he isnāt a valuable asset to her. This is exactly why the risk of divorce goes up if a married woman get a raise while the same isnāt true for the married man as well as why female CEOs divorce faster than male CEOs if they were considering one.
Ladies, Iām not saying donāt follow your dreams but when you do, donāt be surprised if it gets more and more difficult to find a partner the higher up you climb.There are plenty of good men that would marry college-educated women. Any difficulty lies in college women having unrealistic standards. They will not settle for men unless they are tall 6'-0" or taller), hot, and college-educated. And, the supply of such men is very limited. First, women think only 20% of men are average or better in looks; therefore, very few are hot. Second, only 20% of men are 6'-0" or taller, and third, currently, there are approximately 3 women for every 2 men in college.
From what I've noticed it's not that an educated woman can't find good men it's just good men are rare and a most guys are raised with that 40s republican and that THEY work and the woman they stay at home and clean and cook but if a woman has her own mind her own bank account her own job and if she makes even a cent more than her man makes most guys get insecure and instantly go from being good guys to assholes just because of how they were raised
I think it depends on the place and their culture. It's actually easier to find a good man if you're a college educated woman where I live. But I heard that it's harder in the West and I was quite surprised when I heard that.
College educated women typically want college educated men.
I read the more intelligent you are, the harder it is to find a potential mate, because your standards are much higher.
